Instructions
- 1
Prep all ingredients: to a bowl, add all-purpose flour (100 g), potato starch (100 g), and baking powder (8 g). Stir to combine. To a large bowl, add aquafaba (120 g) (strained). To a small bowl add sunflower oil (30 g) and vanilla extract (2 tsp). To another small bowl, add sugar (100 g). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375F/190C.

With a hand mixer at full speed, beat the aquafaba (120 g) for minutes (5). Beat for another minutes (5), gradually adding sugar (100 g) until stable, stiff peaks form. (Timer for this step is 5 minutes, total 10 mins beating)

To the whipped aquafaba, add 0.25 of the sunflower oil (30 g) and 0.25 of the dry ingredients (flour, potato starch, baking powder mix), sifting the dry ingredients in. Gently fold to incorporate, mixing from bottom to top. Repeat in 0.25 increments until all oil and dry ingredients are combined.

Transfer the mixture to a pastry piping bag. Pipe ladyfingers, about 2.5 inches (7 cm) long, onto the first baking sheet, leaving space between them. Sprinkle each ladyfinger with white sugar (100 g) then powdered sugar (100 g). (Optional step)

Bake in a preheated oven at 375F/190C for approximately minutes (12), until slightly golden. Bake one tray at a time. Let cool completely before use.

Make coffee (400 g) (strong espresso preferred) and pour into a large dish to cool completely.

Transfer drained [soy yogurt] to a bowl, add sugar (80 g) and vanilla extract (1 tsp). Beat with a hand mixer for about minutes (3) until sugar dissolves.
